Substratum: Decentralizing the Internet With Personal Computers

I ran across this jewel of an article by Hive account@blockurator and was presently surprised. I have read several free-writes, poems and fictional stories by him and have been impressed every time, and this review post was no exception. It is masterfully written, with enough technical depth to keep the tech savvy engaged, yet conversational enough to keep the attention of the average reader. Hive account@blockurator brings a balance approach to the article, addressing both pros and cons of the platform, with a style only a highly trained writer can produce. It is worth a read, if for nothing more than learning how to write amazing masterful reviews.

Let's hunt down some mushrooms and make a pie

An impressive post from a brand new Steemian… I’m talking brand new, she has not even received a post pay out yet. Her post is beautifully formatted with amazing pictures and an outstanding Cantharel pie recipe. That’s a mushroom pie, for those of us who have never heard of it. The article conveys a lot of character with a straight to the point recipe, detailed with beautiful photography. I have a feeling miss Hive account@heelsandmuffins is going to be a great addition to the Steem platform.

Fluffy mohair cardigan - design considerations...

You will find all kinds of creative art on Steem. I ran across this great design tutorial for a crocheted cardigan. Along with taking a great shadow selfie, Hive account@cryptocariad has created a splendid post, detailing many of the specifics she considers when designing even a simple piece. The step by step nature supported by her photography gives you a bit of appreciation of what many would consider wearable art.

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now Hive account@thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
